Recollection
Sometimes I forget how much I enjoy drinking. Or I remember how bad it is for you – one or the other.
It’s just gone 4 in the afternoon and I’ve just polished off a sort of bastard cuba libre. There was leftover coke from friday night / saturday, and limes, and rum, and really who can be fucked making a mojito after standing all day? I’m not certain a white rum is acceptable, but whatever – rum, coke, lime, in no real balanced measure. I’m a bit in love with these summery rum drinks, although they require a degree of forethought that my other drinks have not. In order to have enough ice for just one of these, you have to remember to fill a whole goddamn tray about 8 hours before drinking. The alternative, of course, is to buy. Which is great if you’re blending / crushing, not so much otherwise.
So I got in from work today and was thinking about a drink before I’d finished emptying my pockets. Not writing an entry, or playing some CoD, or reading a book. Certainly not sorting my life out. Not even watching tv. I didn’t want a snack or to check my phone or update my facebook status. I wanted a stiff drink, with lots of ice in it. I could actually feel parts of me relax as I inched my way down into the glass. I have concluded, after 5 short minutes of quiet observation, that whilst alcohol may be a poor substitute for actual relaxation, it beats the shit out of never relaxing.
Wouldn’t it be nice if this week I called a GP, made an appointment and started doing something about this whole mess? Or the specialist for my arm. Or the university. Or a psychic hotline. Any show of interest would be an improvement.
Ach … ‘nother drink, then something else. Don’t know what. Loud music?
I am all for the wind-down glass of alcohol. A nice cold beer after work is brilliant 🙂 it’s only an issue if it’s a nice straight bottle of vodka you’re drinking every night lol xxx

Scottish dancing? Old movies? Paper mache? I have a book on how to make a weather station if you want to borrow it.

Some days it’s totally acceptable to f*ck the rest of it and just go for the stiff drink. But only if you drag yourself up the next day and make one or two of those phone calls. Hell, you could make the calls AFTER you have the drink, or while you’re drinking it. The two are not mutually exclusive, after all.
